Time with friends

Yesterday it was warm as toast.Simon came out for a look-see and found that sitting up on his chairs of protection gave him the perfect view.

So much for protecting him from our local hawk.

This morning it snowed. Not much; just enough to make it look a little more like Christmas time.Sierra enjoys a bit of cold milk at breakfast.

Around the mouse-house the gifts are going up high, out of the reach of our Audrey. She is not impressed so she has gone back to her hidey-hole for another nap. Annie is dreaming of cat-nip filled mousies under the tree.

A light lunch then back to the mouse-house for coffee, tea, lemon loaf, pumpkin muffins, (locally made) butter-tarts and fruit. Notice I threw the fruit in there for good measure.

It was such fun getting together with two of our dearest friends. A tight squeeze but fun, nonetheless. :)

I think I`m ready for the big day. Once the stockings are stuffed I`ll get in the tiny kitchen and start cooking.Christmas is at my daughter`s beautiful home this year.
We`ll be surrounded by family which includes three grandittles. Oh joy! I can`t wait to see the excitement in their eyes. :)

I love the cozy little mouse house! Christmas is much more fun when there are small ones around. Our granddaughter will be here for Christmas but she is seventeen now. She is still a sweetie pie and will make Christmas special.

That photo of you and your friends at your table really shows how "cozy" your mouse house is! I always imagined it bigger. We got snow last night (quite a lot) and now it feels like winter. Hope you have a wonderful time with your grandchildren. -Jenn

Your mouse-house looks so festive and inviting. Christmas with three generations sounds like so much fun !Looks like you had a fun time with your friends.Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas Deb...~Jo

Your darling little home looks so warm and cozy and perfect for a little get-together with friends. I just love your sweet cupboards and the little village display. I now have some of Kathy's little sheep for my own cupboard! They are so sweet. Simon is so cute - I hope he is careful - and the cats always look so content. So nice to spend the Holiday with your family and precious grand-littles. Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas and blessings for the New Year, Deb. xo Karen

Your little mouse house is so charming and cozy - I bet you will be a little sad to leave it behind when the big house gets built!! I loved all the little cozy places I've lived - and huge bonus? It only takes about an hour top to bottom to clean!!

Even though it has been very mild I have not seen any sign of our Chippy or his siblings I guess they are in a deep sleep and to cozy to move lol ! Lovely photos .

About Me

I have raised my three children and am now a Nana to five. I have enjoyed providing a cat-sitting service in our town and surrounding areas for the last twenty years. My husband and I have recently made a major change and have moved to my grandmother's property in the country.
I hope to continue to provide care for 'stay at home' cats in our new area.
Our carriage house will be our home until the main home is built next year. Do I feel the presence of my gran there? You bet I do. We will be 'tiny home dwellers' for awhile. We share our home with two loving cats; one that you may find quite humorous. I hope you follow along to see how we take on this new life-challenge. I enjoy photographing cats and will show off the best images here. I have yet to find a more beautiful subject. You might find me taking long walks, spending far too much time at the bird feeders, baking something delicious or prettying up the mouse-house.I'm a collector of blue and white china and pottery. I love living in Ontario except for the winter which is too cold and too long. One thing that I know for sure about myself; I will take chocolate from strangers. :) Thanks for stopping by.
